First of all, my apologies for breaking this. I did test a variety of 
SID and sim targets, but obviously not this one.

Looks like Jim has responded to this.

The switch generator stops when it has tested enough bits to resolve 
ambiguity among the defined insns, but since it wasn't going on to test 
the remaining bits, the decoder was recognizing invalid insns as valid. 
This additional test goes on to test all the fixed bits in each insn to 
ensure that they are all correct. It does appear that we could be 
smarter about generating the test, however. In this case the tests 
appear to be redundant. We could probably add some logic to test only 
the untested bits and to not generate the additional test at all if all 
of the bits have already been tested.

This change looks ok to me. Please commit it.

Thanks,
